While time slots in the DVR era may seem like a relic from another period, they’re still a vital part of the TV economy for the five broadcast networks that rely on ad dollars to survive.This past week, ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and The CW presented their lineups for the 2018-19 season to Madison Avenue ad buyers with the hopes that their new comedies and dramas can cut through a schedule filled with big swings, returning favorites and, yes, a bunch of reboots.NBC set an all Chicago night on Wednesdays, moving veteran Law & Order: SVU to the prestigious Thursdays at 10 p.m. slot formerly occupied by ER.
